Theory of Convergence
Theory Of Convergence 集 (TOC) was formed in Shanghai in 2014. The power rockquartet is composed of Joan on vocals, Reno on guitars, Yfan on Bass and BenJ on drums. Mixing influences from east and west, its music is a blend of rock, pop, metal, all in a progressive and melodic alchemy. In the buoyant city of Shanghai in modern China, they make the listener travel and reflect on life, with the firm belief that in every situation there is always hope and opportunity for a brighter tomorrow provided you own your destiny. Since its formation, TOC has performed many times across China and released its debut album Default Beings in June 2019.
Theory of convergence 于2014年成立，由樂隊成員Joan（主唱）、Reno（吉他）、Yfan（貝斯）、Benj（鼓手）集結成一股搖滾力量。結合了東西方的搖滾、流行、金屬的前衛力量。在充滿活力的現代化城市——魔都上海，他們讓聽眾漫游思緒，反思生活。他們堅信，無論如何，只要你掌握了自己的命運，你的明天*會充滿希望和機會。自成立以來，TOC多次在全國各地巡演，并于2019年6月發行了首張專輯《default beings》。
Chimera Cult
CHIMERA CULT
“Being the deity of metal and orgies can be tough. So when I need to raise the ol’ devil horn, I down a bottle of Jack Daniels, and blast a Chimera Cult album. Brings me from Diabno to Diablo!” – Satan (CEO of Hell and its subsidiaries)
Combined from the post covid remains of Hitobashira, Alpaca, and Hydraslug. They’re bringing together the legacies of all these bands, and defiling them with whatever the fuck eclectic, stream-of-conscious guilty pleasure filthy metal they shit out!
“成為金屬和狂歡的神靈可能很難。 因此我需要舉起魔鬼的號角，灌下一瓶杰克·丹尼爾斯，然后播放Chimera Cult的專輯。 帶我從Diabno到Diablo！” –撒旦（地獄及其子公司的首席執行官）
結合了Hitobashira，Alpaca和Hydraslug的余孽。 他們匯集了所有這些樂隊的產物，用兼收并蓄、意氣用事、帶有負罪的快感創作出的骯臟金屬玷污他們!
Karmic Demise終焉
以充滿厄運似泥漿、森然險惡且陰郁幽怨的氛圍、沉緩如冰河般的慢速Breakdown
打破了*金屬與死核的固有類型，大膽突破音樂風格的邊界
Karmic Demise delivers your doom, suffocating you in a sinister atmosphere, as your body slowly sinks into the mud gasping for breath! Striking firm, and slow, like a glacier, boldly smashing through the boundaries of extreme metal and deathcore, crushing you in its path!
Spill Your Guts
從蓬勃發展的中國硬核場景中成功突圍，這支來自上海的 Spill Your Guts 樂隊給這場短暫而”危險”的活動帶來了一種原始的D.I.Y.朋克精神。樂隊成員是五個外籍音樂人：主唱Dima（莫斯科），鼓手 Tyler（蒙特利爾），吉他手 Larry（愛丁堡）和 Martin（哥本哈根），貝司手 Ian（魁北克）。2012 年，Dima、Tyler 和當時的貝斯手 Toshi 組建了 SYG。多年來，由于成員都來自迥然不同的地區和國家，離隊和回國的事情經常發生，他們經歷著頻繁的陣容變動。不過，2016 年 Ian 和 Larry 加入了樂隊，Martin 也在今年回歸，新的 SYG 已經正式啟航。
樂隊的首次現場演出是在 2012 年 4 月，那之后， SYG 從中國起航，慢慢他們巡演的腳步開始觸及新加坡、曼谷和吉隆坡等國家，以及緊隨其后的穿越了俄羅斯的 9 座城市、路程長達 5000 多公里的巡演。2019年初，SYG通過一個為期兩周的于加拿大的巡演來在這一年里旗開得勝，隨后在加拿大的Schoolhouse錄音室里與制作人Scott Middleton一同錄制了（即將發行的）樂隊第二張全長專輯。在這之前，他們還曾錄制了兩張EP與一張全長專輯。
Shanghai’s Spill Your Guts bring a raw, D.I.Y. hardcore spirit to a movement as transient as it is dangerous. Comprising a quartet of expatriate members — vocalist Dima (Russia), drummer Tyler (Canada), guitarists Larry (Scotland) and Martin (Denmark) and bassist Ian (Canada) — SYG were formed in 2012.
Over the years, contending with eleven separate members moving in and out of the country, they experienced a flurry of roster changes. The band’s first live show was in April 2012. As SYG continued to tour in China, they found their way to sweaty stages in Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, a 5,000+ km tour across Russia. In 2018 they continued to headline festivals in China, touring with Cancer Bats and co-headlining Silence Festival in Nepal.
SYG started off 2019 strong with a 2 week Canadian tour and then hitting Schoolhouse Studios for 3 weeks in Canada with producer Scott Middleton, where they recorded their (yet to be released) 2nd full length LP. Besides of that, they have got two EPs one full length LP recorded.
Urizen Society
上海前衛交響黑金屬樂隊由理生社（Urizen Society）組建于2018年。他們的音樂題材多數源自歐洲的幻想文學與歷史事件，其音樂植根于西方古典音樂，并融合了黑金屬與前衛金屬的諸多元素，表演風格中加入了諸多戲劇與儀式的舞臺元素。
The Shanghai Vanguard Symphonic Black Metal Band was formed in 2018 by the Urizen Society. Most of their music themes are derived from European fantasy literature and historical events. Their music is rooted in Western classical music, and incorporates many elements of black metal and avant-garde metal, and many theater and ritual stage elements are added to their performance style.
Star Mania
星幻之名源于上世紀70年代的法國賽博搖滾歌??；
而*，來自魔都的我們渴望用更新潮的聲音
呈現當代人的魔幻際遇與掙扎內心，
于無聲處聽驚雷，宏大且冷峻。
風格始于前衛金屬核，
然不拘泥于*與否，
博采廣納眾家之長，揉入似煙如火的女聲旋律，
熔煉新金屬核的兇猛律動，鑄造屬于星幻的另類搖滾之聲
The name of celestial fantasy originated from French cyber-rock operas in the 1970s. Today, we from the magic city are eager to use the new wave of voice. Presenting the magical encounters and struggles of contemporary people, listening to thunder in a silent place, grand and cold. The style starts with the avant-garde metalcore, However, we don’t dwell only in the extremes, we strive to harness the strength of all areas of music, with smokey female vocals, and fierce rhythm, smelting metal into new cores, casting an alternative rock sound, that belongs stars! Breaking through the boundaries of common metal!
